Studies on Active Ingredients
Let’s discuss why some of the heavy lifters in It Works! Defining Gel are popular and how they work.
Witch Hazel
Witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a flowering shrub native to North America. It is also known as winter bloom. Once used as a divining rod for finding water, witch hazel has become a staple of skincare products, especially as an astringent for treating acne.
The plant is rich in antioxidants and can fight bacteria present on the skin. It can soothe skin and reduce inflammation. The plant has many uses, from minimizing stretch marks, reducing scars, and treating wounds.
Green Tea Leaf Extract
Popularized initially as a beverage in China, green tea has spread across the world. It gained a reputation for antioxidant properties, but most people wouldn’t think to put tea on their skin.
Green tea can benefit your skin using a leaf extract. Drinking green tea in combination with a topical application can improve skin elasticity. Green tea has shown anticarcinogenic effects as well as anti-inflammatory properties. The leaf extract can improve skin microrelief (skin texture) by smoothing and hydrating.
Horse Chestnut Seed Extract
Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), buckeye, or Spanish chestnut comes from a southeastern European tree. Traditional medicine used the seed extract to treat joint pain, gastrointestinal problems, fever, and leg cramps.
Modern research has focused on how horse chestnut improves symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Instead of compression socks to stop leg pain, the horse chestnut seed extract reduces bulging varicose veins by increasing blood flow and reducing swelling.
Rosemary Leaf Oil
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), an evergreen from the Mediterranean, is a member of the mint family. Many fellow mint family members, including thyme and lavender, are fragrant culinary staples. You might be more familiar with rosemary as a seasoning, but it can also boost skin health.
Rosemary leaf oil contains essential vitamins and minerals. Rosemary oil preserves your skin with properties including anti-aging, anti-inflammatory activity, wound healing, and ultraviolet (UV) protection.
Bladderwrack Thalle Extract
Bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosus) has many names, including rockweed, red fucus, sea oak, black tang, or bladder fucus. It’s a brown seaweed that mainly grows along Atlantic and Pacific coastlines.
Bladderwrack, and other seaweeds, are rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Topical application of the extract has anti-aging effects.
Eucalyptus Leaf Oil
Traditional Australian medicine used oil from Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) tree leaves for aches, wounds, and infections. It can relieve sunburns and contains natural antibacterial activity, perfect for healing bug bites and minor injuries.
Gotu Kola Leaf Extract
Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) or Indian pennywort rejuvenates the skin. The leaf extract prevents aging and protects your skin. Gotu kola has functional properties that include anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial activity. The leaf extract also promotes wound healing.
Butcher’s Broom
The Western evergreen shrub known as Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus aculeatus) reduces inflammation. Butcher’s Broom relaxes veins and improves blood flow. It’s effective in treating chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, and orthostatic hypotension.
Ivy Leaf Extract
Ivy (Hedera helix) or English ivy slims skin and prevents cellulite by tightening your skin. It’s rich in flavonoids, which contribute antioxidants, strengthen blood vessels, and create an anti-inflammatory response.
Guarana Seed Extract
The Brazilian guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a climbing plant featured in the traditional medicine of Amazonian tribes. Today, sports and energy drinks include guarana for the high caffeine content. Caffeine is one of the antioxidants in guarana that contributes anti-aging properties.
